| Abstract | Correction of dentofacial deformities requires a high standard of teamwork between the orthodontist, the oral surgeon and the general dentist. Both, orthodontist and maxillofacial surgeon must establish a combined treatment plan and a time schedule. The treatment goal of presurgical orthodontic preparation includes three-dimensional intra-arch alignment to provide ideal conditions for orthognathic surgery. A typical case report is presented. |
